Testing for Gas Leaks
■ Do not ever use a flame to test for gas leaks, as doing so may
result in explosion, injury, death, and/or damage to the appliance
and property.
■ With electrical power off, carefully check for gas leaks at each gas
component that was removed, replaced, or otherwise serviced
using a gas leak detector (electronic leak detectors are highly
recommended) or bubble test. The only exceptions that may
require the electrical power to be on are for the XLO valves – for
these, use extreme caution when performing gas leak testing.
Electrical Hazards
■ Before servicing the appliance, remove electrical power by
disconnecting the power cord from the wall receptacle, by shutting
off the circuit breaker, or by disconnecting the proper fuse.
■ If tests have to be conducted while the appliance is live, always
use a residual-current-operated circuit-breaker. The protective
conductor connection must not exceed the recommended values.
■ When repairs are complete, perform a function test in accordance
with the appropriate regulations.
■ Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the separate
ground wire or the third (ground) prong from the power cord plug.
■ Improper grounding or reverse polarization will cause malfunction
(such as continuous sparking of the igniters), which can damage
the appliance and create an electrical shock hazard. Make sure
the circuit is properly grounded and polarized in accordance with
applicable local codes and ordinances. Receptacle replacement
shall be in accordance with the National Electric Code.

Hot Surfaces
To avoid burns and injury, do not handle components and surfaces
that are hot, such as the rangetop burner assemblies, maintop,
griddle/grill, gas burners, electric elements, hot surface igniters, heat
deflector, and interior oven surfaces, or the exterior area immediately
surrounding the door.
Sharp Components
This appliance has sheet metal and other components which often
have sharp edges. When working on this appliance, avoid cutting
yourself and other injury by handling these parts with care and using
adequate protective measures, such as gloves.
In Case of Power Outage
■ When there is a removal of electrical power, the XLO / XHI
burners and griddle cannot be used. Do not attempt to light them
manually during a power outage.
■ If for any reason a control knob is on when there is any failure or
removal of electrical power from the appliance (such as a power
outage), immediately turn all control knob(s) to the OFF position.
■ Ventilate by opening a door or window, and wait at least 5 minutes
for all the gas to dissipate.
■ If you smell gas, refer to the applicable safety precautions stated
in this manual.
